Social change climate change working
party

If there is to be any effective
response to climate change, substantially new ways of living are urgently
required. Forms of intervention based on theories of rational action, lifestyle
choice and human behaviour are unlikely to catalyse entrenched habits and
practices at the rate required to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
In response, the social change, climate change working party aims to develop,
debate and disseminate significantly new ways of conceptualising and promoting
transitions in ordinary but environmentally significant routines like those
of heating, cooling, washing, eating, lighting and moving around. For more
information see this foldable
printable brochure

Working party members included
PhD students dealing with topics of consumption, social theories of practice
and environmental change and people involved in developing and implementing
technologies, products and policies for climate change in government,
NGOs and business.
